The Keeper Of Time

Wandering down to where the willow herb grows, in the early evening, would I catch a glimpse of my moth?This is the direction it flew on that morning not so long ago. I've also read that they can be found wherever the plant flourishes.

I found a stripy tired snail.

There are more chrysalis in the green house. Small and black and protected by white woven web.I've no idea what type of moth they will be. They have a long sleep over winter until they transform.

I finished the little owl painting and have named it .........The Keeper Of Time

Some special moments captured this week .....

Now I'm off to the greenhouse to give it a much needed tidy up.An excuse to get in the warm as its chilly inside today. xxx

I'm starting to prefer moths to butterflies - I've never really noticed them before so I'm always spotting something new; watched a burnet moth hatch from its chrysalis yesterday, and saw a Silver Y bumbling among the flowers the down.

What wonderful pictures Kaen...I love the light...thank you so much for the seeds...can I swap you some? I have good news...my lovely albertine rose has come back to life despite its journey to and fom the back garden! I will email my address...love H

The rays of sunlight were actually invisible until the smoke from a small fire I had lit blew across in front of them! When the smoke died down they disappeared.Then everytime the smoke came back so did the rays of light.Its amazing to think that there are things hidden from our eyes. Just because we can't see them, it doesn't mean that they are not there.

Cottage garden...I'm so glad you are looking at moths with new eyes. There are so many to discover.

I have a definate soft spot for owls, we often hear them on an evening in the pine trees behind our house. Your owl is so precious! Love the photographs too, don't know what we did before digital photography! Used too much film and dodgy scanners, I suspect.

I love your owl - they seem to be appearing in my life a lot this last week, two large one in a sanctuary at the weekend, a knitted one that my grandson wants me to make (the original is my daughters and she isn't willing to part with it!) and now your lovely painting.
